A Jeil International-owned chemical/product tanker has been arrested in Singapore over a $1m cargo claim.
The South Korean shipowner’s 11,600-dwt chemical/product tanker Jeil Crystal (built 1999) was shackled on Sunday after a party described as the “owner of cargo lately laden onboard” filed a claim against it.
The identity of that entity was not disclosed, although the High Court of Singapore’s cause book indicated that Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp had recently engaged in legal proceedings against the “owner and/or demise charterer” of the vessel that have now been declared as concluded.
